$250 Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle. Will It Happen!? <(^_^<)

Not unless the production price for Wii U goes down significantly somehow before the end of May. Nintendo was losing money back when they were selling the console by itself for $300; dropping the price for the console by essentially $110 (assuming Mario Kart costs $60), would put them at an even worse position than they're in already.

Once again, the Wii U always comes bundled with a game now. MK8 will not increase the cost anymore than the already bundled games.

While that's true, the difference here is that there are no Wii U bundles that are going for $250 (outside of ones repriced by retailers to simply get rid of their stock). What you're asking for is Nintendo, who was already losing money on the $350 Wii U bundle when it came out, and then cut the bundle price and started eating bigger losses, to now once again increase their loss per console with a bundle that adds another $50 in the negative. That's not going to happen.
